GEA supports MAN with new separator in the development of a game changer

With the installation of the new GEA marine Separator 50 on the engine test bench in Augsburg, GEA supports its customer MAN in the development of its high-performance diesel engine 45/60CR. The new diesel engine was designed by MAN engineers to set a new standard in propulsion technology, for example for cruise ships, ro-pax ships (combi-carriers transporting cargo and passengers), ro-ro ships (ships on which the cargo travels on board passenger cars, trucks or trains) or dredgers. The MAN 45/60CR engine will initially be available as a 12V version with an output of 15.6 MW (megawatts). A planned 20V model would accordingly have a peak output of 26MW. The new high-performance diesel engine has earned the term game changer not only because of its performance. The two-stage turbocharging, which results in a previously unattainable specific fuel consumption, also contributes to this. Furthermore, the new machine reduces operating costs and improves the overall environmental balance.
